Voice over Internet Protocol – or VoIP – is a fantastic technology that basically allows you to make phone calls over the web instead of through traditional telephone lines. The benefits of this are numerous, but the advantage that’s most eye catching to many businesses is the cost: your company can save a lot of money by using VoIP instead of traditional phone lines.
VoIP services can be installed on your PBX system (though in some cases you may have to upgrade to a VoIP enabled system) and that’s pretty much all it takes to get started using this excellent technology. Owing to the economic nature of internet data transferral, VoIP allows you to make phone calls in the same way you’d have an instant messenger conversation – immediately and cheaply. Thanks to the reduction in costs from your end of the call, placing a call is cheaper than ever – and if your call recipient happens to be using the same VoIP client as you, your call might even be free. Imagine the possibilities concerning money saving when your company has to make calls to the UK, Japan, Europe or Canada regularly. Even when you have to call nationwide or locally within your state, your calls can cost far less through this program than they would have done through traditional phone calls.
